Chapter 143: Contradictions
Xiao Luo was woken up by the ringing of her mobile phone, her reaction was a little sluggish, and the phone was answered by the man before she opened her eyes, followed by the sound of gentle footsteps.
In the dim light, the man was answering the phone with his back to her, and the room was so quiet that she could even hear the low sobs of the woman on the other end of the line.
Yi Zeran remained silent, and when the woman finally stopped crying, she rubbed her eyebrows and said softly: "Please don't call again, thank you." ”
Xiao Luo sat up, leaned on the head of the bed and quietly looked at the man's back, for a moment she was really envious of the kind of girl who would be spoiled, and threw herself into the man's arms to explain the grievances in her heart at one time, but she couldn't do it, even if she was pretending to be stormy in her heart, her face could be calm and waveless.
Yi Zeran was stunned for a moment when he saw her, put the phone back on the bedside table, and touched her messy hair, "Awake?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao Luo moved his body, the foot he twisted yesterday was not treated, and today it is already swollen and high, and he can't ignore it.
The man's warm hand fell on her red and swollen ankles, his fingertips folded to wrap his whole foot in the palm of his hand, and his eyebrows furrowed inadvertently, "Why didn't you say it yesterday?" ”
"Forget." Xiao Luo moved, and then lay down on the bed again, "I was a little tired when I came back yesterday, and I fell asleep when I lay down, anyway, it doesn't hurt, it's probably good to lie in bed for a few days." ”
Seeing that Yi Zeran was still holding the soles of her feet and didn't let go, she tilted her head slightly, "I shouldn't go out in the past few days, if you don't worry, you can ask the room service to send some trauma medicine, if you have something else, you can go and get busy." ”
The man's brows furrowed even tighter, and his black pupils seemed to suck Xiao Luo in, "Luoluo, you're angry." ”
His tone was affirmative, "Don't be in a hurry to deny it, you won't lie at all, and you've never been happy since you arrived in country M." ”
Xiao Luo looked at his eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.
Glad she met a man who knew her so well, and sad that she didn't even have a chance to hide her emotions.
The room was quiet for a long time, Xiao Luo no longer avoided his questioning, and sat up again, "Yes, I regret it, I regret accompanying you to country M." ”
She didn't know how she felt when she said this, and she didn't know how to face Yi Zeran's suddenly sinking face, her nose was very sore, but she couldn't hold back her tears, so she could only stubbornly look at the man.
A pair of hands covered her eyes, and a man's low voice came from her ears: "I'm sorry." ”
It was he who selfishly put her in this uncontrollable situation, and it was useless to say sorry again.
"No need to say I'm sorry." Xiao Luo opened his palm and looked at him with a clear gaze, "Let me stay in the room quietly for a few days, and I will return to China when the time is right." ”
Yi Zeran didn't speak, his hand hanging in the air fell on the side of the soft bed, turned his head to look at the swinging pendulum, for a long time, as if he had made a lot of determination, he said in a low voice: "I will deal with the matter here as soon as possible and take you back." ”
"But now, I have to take you to take care of the ankle injury."
After speaking, he directly hugged the person regardless of Xiao Luo's objection.
drove the car from yesterday, and Xiao Luo has been calm and silent since he got in the car, and his mind is full of Jiang Yuxiao leaning on his arms and crying yesterday.
She is not a generous person, even if she knows that they can't be together, she still can't calmly face that her lover has such an insurmountable past.
On the way, Abby called Yi Zeran, and the man glanced at the screen and handed the phone to Xiao Luo.
Abby wasn't surprised to hear Xiao Luo's voice, "Xiao Luo? Are you with you? ”
Xiao Luo replied in a low voice.
"It's good that you're okay, or I really don't know how to explain it." Abby breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Damn, I was actually grabbed by that man yesterday, and my father came to take away my mobile phone, and I only found out this morning that Yi Zeran called me so much." ”
Xiao Luo glanced at the man beside her, about the situation last night, she could probably guess how chaotic it was, but in the past, she didn't bother to ask.
"Xiao Luo, are you still listening?" After receiving Xiao Luo's response, Abby continued: "I am now locked up at home by my father, and I will probably not be able to go out for a while, and I will have the opportunity to invite you to dinner to apologize. ”
Xiao Luo subconsciously refused, and before he could say "no", Abby directly cut off the phone.
Yi Zeran turned his head to look at her, his face was still dark, "You went to the wedding yesterday?" ”
Xiao Luo calmly met his gaze, "Yes." ”
"See me?" There is no need for an answer, Xiao Luo's dodging eyes have already explained the answer, and the man's expression seemed to be a little annoyed, "Why don't you come to me directly, Abby's person is crazy and doesn't want to die." ”
"I think your friend is reliable." Xiao Luo took a deep breath, his eyes were a little indifferent, "At least before the matter was revealed, she sent me out of the villa intact. ”
She deliberately emphasized the words "your friend", which sounded sarcastic.
Yi Zeran's expression really sank a little more, like a black cloud on the eve of a storm, "That's not the reason you told me." ”
"Did you tell me?" Xiao Luo looked at him coldly, completely lacking his initial soft and weak appearance, "Since both of us have chosen not to say it, then let's turn over this matter." ”
Yi Zeran stepped on the brakes irritably, the car suddenly stopped at the corner of the street, and the male driver of the car behind opened the window and scolded them viciously and viciously at them.
The man didn't hear it, unbuckled his seat belt and forced Xiao Luo into a small space, "Tell me, Xiao Luo, what are you running away from?" ”
Xiao Luo was already completely attached to the backrest, there was no way to avoid it, and finally met the man's gaze with self-abandonment, "I'm running away from you, Yi Zeran." ”
Her voice was loud, like a cry of all her might before falling into a desperate situation.
Yi Zeran's aura weakened suddenly, and the emotions in his black eyes kept changing, doubtful, lost, and unbelievable......
Xiao Luo breathed a sigh of relief, he no longer had the courage to face Yi Zeran, and turned his head to look at the people coming and going outside the car window.
"After coming to country M, I realized how weak I was, no talent, no education, no proud family background, and no impressive appearance...... Such a me, what to stand with you. ”
A faint sigh echoed through the carriage, "The door is right, this word is too right." ”
Yes, she has low self-esteem, she is suspicious, so she doesn't have the slightest courage to face the woman who suddenly appeared.
"Fall." Yi Zeran kept calling her name, his arm fell on her shoulder, and stubbornly straightened her head, "Remember the gift that monk gave us?" ”
She lifted her eyelids and looked at the man's eyes, Yi Zeran's black pupils were full of her hesitant appearance.
"If you love across the mountains and seas, the mountains and seas can be moved." Yi Zeran's words reached her ears word for word, "You have to believe in the love between us, and you have to believe that you have enough ability to protect this love." ”
Xiao Luo seemed to have been drained of her strength, leaning softly on the back of her seat, for Yi Zeran's proposal, her heart was indeed shaken, but it was limited to that.
Words had lost their power, she thought, and she needed to inspire herself the courage to go on.
Thinking of the sound of the police car honking on the street, Yi Zeran quietly glanced at the approaching police car and restarted the car.
As Xiao Luo said, it was not a very serious injury, and it was not gone after taking a film, and under Yi Zeran's repeated emphasis, the bearded doctor with glasses dutifully applied medicine to Xiao Luo, and attached a lot of precautions.
In the end, there was only one result - she had to start living in bed again.
Xiao Luo accepted this result very calmly, but Yi Zeran had been sullen and unhappy.
After returning to the hotel, the man stubbornly wanted to make breakfast by himself, Xiao Luo was too lazy to argue with him, leaned on the sofa and watched him roll up the sleeves of his shirt, skillfully take out the kitchen utensils, and wash the vegetables in different categories.
The phone in his pocket vibrated as the scent came out, and it was a short message from an unknown person.
There are only a few short words on it: Was the trip to country M enjoyable?
If it weren't for the previous message, Xiao Luo would still be able to take it as someone else's blessing, and the meaning of receiving such a text message at this time is too obvious.
Xiao Luo was a little worried in her heart, the war between her and Yi Zeran could not be known by anyone except each other, so who edited this meaningful news?
She looked up at the man's straight back, the dishes in the pot were already cooked, and the man was holding the spatula to fill the plate, and from her line of sight, she could catch a glimpse of the muscular lines of the man's arms.
Boldly guess, that person must have some unusual relationship with Yi Zeran, or a friend standing in the open, or an enemy hiding in the shadows, either way, their situation is extremely dangerous.
Subconsciously, she thought of Abby, who had brought her to the wedding yesterday, but she quickly dismissed the suspicion.
Abby's personality is too straightforward, love or hate, you can see at a glance, like her methods against the man from yesterday, it can be called extreme.
This kind of cat-catching rat and bluffing means, she probably disdains to do.
But who else could there be?
Xiao Luo clenched her phone tightly and tapped the smooth desktop blankly, she had to admit that she was a little stupid, and she even played simple reasoning games in a mess.
The man in the kitchen has already made breakfast, which is actually the most common pasta dish in H City, raw fried buns with millet porridge.
Yi Zeran didn't miss the surprise that flashed in Xiao Luo's eyes, and the corners of his lips were raised, revealing a childlike proud expression, "The first time you do it, you can try it." ”
Xiao Luo had no objection, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a fried bun, the skin was a little hard, the taste of the filling was not bad, and it was a passing breakfast.
But Yi Zeran's standard was obviously not enough, and after only one bite, the man's face sank, and he directly stretched out his arm to remove the plate, "I'll go make another one." ”
